Tall Gals Check in - Motivation for 5'8" and above

sreed016

Any gals here 5'8" or taller?

Looking for motivation/success stories/ in between stories or pics from my fellow tall gals.


PS - Forgive me if there is already a similar thread here. Looked a few pages back and didn't see one so I thought I'd start one up.

Thanks,
Steph

I'm 5'9" but I just started so I don't have any success stories yet LOL. Bumping for motivation.

I'm not a success story yet, but a work in progress. I have gotten past my halfway mark though! I've lost a total of 50lbs so far and am "overweight" working on getting to "healthy" BMI. I've been on MFP for just over half a year. 2013 is going to be my year to get "healthy"!

Best of luck to all of you, I know you can do it! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I've seen a bunch of other threads for tall gals, they pop up and die off, so I don't think there will be a problem with starting a new one.

Let's see if I can figure out this pic posting thing since I suggested it...


Before 5'8' 167 lbs wearing two pair of Spanx!




At Goal 134 lbs


June 2012 137 lbs Vow Renewal with My Awesome Hubby


Current - 150lbs and not so happy



I had gotten down to a size 4 at my lowest weight - I am still in a normal BMI range at my current weight but the size 4's don't fit at all and the rest of my clothes that do fit just don't feel right.

Looking to drop the 15lbs and tone up this year!

5'10" over here! Just got back into doing this, so I'm a definite work in progress! But, I'm working towards a goal of losing 100 lbs total. I'm at my biggest weight now that I've ever been. 270. Ugh.

5'8". My pics are in my profile.

5'9" here! Just restarting after a lapse and gaining 10 lbs back (boo!). I actually checked this thread out mainly for goal weight inspiration! I'm not entirely sure what my goal should be. I'm currently 160 and my goal weight is set at 130, but I'm not entirely sure that's attainable for me and my body type (apple, with tendency to gain muscle). But we'll see!

Feel free to add me and we can achieve our goals together!

I'm 5'8". At my heaviest in high school I was around 220.I managed to get down to about 165 before gaining a few pounds back when I went home for Christmas. So now I'm working harder so I can get to my goal weight of 155 before graduation, although I'm really looking more to getting my body fat percentage where I want it rather than the actual weight.

5'9, but not at success yet. The nice thing about being tall is that no one thinks I really weigh what I weigh :happy:

erinpooh

I'm 6'1 and have lost about 27 pounds so far using MFP. My starting weight was 231 and currently I'm at 204 I had lost over 30, but the holidays got the best of me so I'm working even harder to get to my goal weight of 160. Add me if you like! I'm always looking for motivation and people to motivate. I have a open food diary to friends as well and I log everyday. Best of luck to you all!
